This hand-dyed artisanal yarn is no ordinary knitting yarn: the designer behind the knitting patterns Louise Robert Design meticulously created this beautiful collection.
It's by studying the color pallets that represent her life and career over the years that designer Louise Robert was able to imagine all of the variety available in these hand-dyed artisanal yarns.
YORK is a city in the north of England founded by the Romans, and one of the major cities of the Anglo-Saxon kingdom. In addition to its historical monuments dating back to the Middle Ages, this city still enforces medieval law. A law allowing the murder of a Scotsman who carries bow and arrow within the city walls is still permitted to this day. Rich in its Roman, Celtic and Nordic history, York is exactly the type of city that excites my curiosity and that I would love to visit one day.-Louise- Composition: 70% Silk, 30% Seacell

Seacell is a silky fiber made from seaweed and eucalyptus fibers. Seacell is hypoallergenic and very gentle. Algae for the marine cells are harvested in sparsely populated fjords of Iceland, in places where there is no waste or pollution from ships. Combined with silk, it creates a luxurious and shiny thread.

Customer Reviews
This yarn is so soft and luxurious I am almost afraid to use it. The color is not as vibrant as I expected, but then, it is hand-dyed. I give it 5 stars for its luxury but only 3 stars for practicality. Might make a short waistcoat.
J'adore flécher avec les fibres Algua Marina de la collection Louise Robert design. Les coloris se marient admirablement les uns aux autres et le rendu final est soyeux, lustré, magnifique. J'utilise diverses couleurs et d'autres fibres des collections Laines Biscotte, que je recompose au rouet pour créer une palette de teintes et textures originales.
Les fibres Algua Marina m'ont permis de créer des rubans fléchés soyeux et lustrés magnifiques qui ornent des disques de bois gravés. Ces magnifique trophées ont été offerts aux lauréats des Prix Excellence Arts et Culture 2022, remis le 28 novembre par divers organismes culturels des régions de la Capitale-Nationale et Chaudière-Appalaches.
Les fibres Algua Marina ajoutent à la beauté et la préciosité du fléché.
Super sock de Louise Robert couleur Bronte
Comme vous pourrez le constater sur la photo de mes plantes, le rose mauve est au rendez-vous cette semaine dans notre maison.
Une laine qui contient un peu plus de nylon(+10%) que ma laine habituelle (Bis-Sock), plus épaisse mais aussi agréable à tricoter et à porter.
Le patron est une grille partagée par Inga Titova, j'aime bien l'élasticité que ce point produit, permet d'épouser les contours du pied.
Que dire de la couleur tout simplement splendide. La qualité de la soie c’est une fibre super douce et très agréable à tricoter
